It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

Why would you remember that Drakes mother is Jewish, and not simply that Drake is half Jewish?

Is this just word count writing? Just a weird ass unnatural way to phrase it, very few celebrities parents are noteworthy enough to be part of the common knowledge around that artist.

If Drake's mother is jewish, doesn't that just make him Jewish? I thought pretty much every jewish tradition considers it inheritable through the mother rather than through both parents

Yeah I guess in a religious sense he's just Jewish, but him being mixed is a big part of a lot of the drama going on around him so people usually call him half Jewish, I guess it also makes it clear that his mother is Jewish rather than him having converted.

Ultimately I just said half Jewish cause that's what I hear people call him.

Also I can't help but feel like this is the kind of hyperaggressive overreaction that Liberal and Conservative reactionaries alike ascribe to trans people and other minorities.

Reactionaries projecting their tendency to overreact onto others? Why I never

But yes, it does feel very similar

This lib still believes in the One-drop rule
